Carey and Tanaka first met in the mid-2000s and he joined her as a backup dancer during her Adventures of Mimi tour which took place in 2006.
The singer has long been dubbed the Queen of Christmas by fans for her insane Christmas projects, but in a new interview with W Magazine, the singer explained that it was her “messed up” childhood that nurtured her love of Christmas over the holidays.

“I know people often say, ‘Oh, yay! Look at her! She’s so festive and such a Christmas girl,” or whatever. But really, Christmas makes me happy,” the Hero singer told the magazine.
“When you grow up with a messed up life and then you’re able to have that transformation where you can make your life the way you want it? This is joy for me. That’s why I want my children to have everything they can have. I want them to understand that they can be anything they want.”
Carey often tries to include her 11-year-old twins, Monroe and Moroccan, who she shares with ex-husband Nick Cannon, in her many holiday projects, including performing together at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City, as well as this past year.
The star returned to the 96th Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade last month after a seven-year absence.
